Wireless Analysis Solutions Overview

All Observer products offer WLAN monitoring. When equipped with a wireless NIC, each analyzer or probe detects wireless activity and relays metrics to Observer consoles anywhere on the network for analysis. Load Observer on a laptop for mobile monitoring power.
While conducting WLAN monitoring, Viavi Solutions probes allow you to simultaneously monitor the wired side of the network. Wireless-only analyzers can’t decode beyond the MAC layer since the header is encrypted in most security configurations. With Observer, you have the option to view the entire wired-side payload.
Invest in the solution that easily handles both wired and wireless network monitoring.

Observer’s wireless functionality also includes full decryption of WPA and WPA2 protocols.

“The knowledge and insight provided by Observer is priceless. How can I quantify how much money and time we’ve potentially saved by locating rogue access points? Observer ensured our data wasn’t susceptible to hackers—I can’t tell you how much that is worth.”
